Important
• Read the instructions for use and look at the illustrations
before you start using the steam iron.
• To prevent damage: check if the voltage indicated on the
appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you
connect the appliance.
• Never use the iron if it is damaged or does not function
properly.
• Make sure that children cannot touch the hot appliance and
that they cannot pull at the mains cord.
• The ejected steam is very hot and therefore dangerous. Never
direct the steam at people.
• Remove the mains plug from the socket before you fill the iron
with water and before you pour out the remaining water after
use.
• Never immerse the iron in water.
• When you have finished ironing and also when you leave the
iron for even a short while, always:
- set the steam control dial to position O
- put the iron on its heel
- remove the mains plug from the wall socket
• Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased. As a result,
the iron may smoke slightly when you use it for the first time.
This phenomenon is harmless and will soon cease.
• Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate before
you use the appliance for the first time. Clean the soleplate with
a soft cloth.
• Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water
reservoir.
• Do not use chemically descaled water for steaming.
• Do not allow the cord to touch the soleplate when it is hot.
• If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it may only be
replaced by an authorised service centre, as repair requires
special tools and/or parts.
